Wonderful spot! Highly recommend. The staff are super helpful and very knowledgeable when it comes to cigars.

Only place in Walnut Creek to secure Davidoff cigars. Be sure to check back often, usually Friday or Monday to see what came in on the shipment, and act quickly as the entire inventory will probably be gone by days end. Best spot I've found outside of the city and it really isn't that close, but like I said, timing is everything. read more

I've been driving all over for cigars. This place is really close to my house and I just missed it. They have a great selection of cigars, in fact, I found Oscar's which I've only been able to find in Southern California. The man working the counter was very helpful, I will absolutely be back to this store and probably this will be my main cigar store read more

The gentleman who helped me was very good at what he was doing. He walked me through my flavor palette and what to expect from what I purchased. I explained to him that I was new and want to explore the craft. read more

Visited this local Cigar store to purchase a few stogies to celebrate some milestones.I had a pleasant experience and walked away knowing I'd be back. I easily give this local store 5 stars! Waking in you see shelves and shelves of cigars. Honestly speaking, I was I initially lost. Then the gentleman working there asked me some questions. I mentioned I occasionally smoke cigars and the flavor I typically prefer. He made some recommendations and the price range was good. I took my time removing cigars from the case, smell, and slightly pinch to feel how tender/dry they were. I was able to make a decision within minutes. Local shop, good service, good price range,I will be coming back soon! read more

This guy sold me the crappiest smokes I've ever tasted after fully explaining what I read & what I was looking for. Sadly disappointed.

A Russian male friend of mine was visiting and needed to purchase a gift of cigars for an older gentleman friend of his. He asked me where the best place would be to go, and I immediately thought of Cigar Emporium, which has been a main stay in Walnut Creek for years. Upon entering the store to selecting cigars to purchasing to departing -- the service was excellent. The gentleman who assisted us was knowledgeable and helpful, and my friend was pleased with the excellent service -- and products -- received. Would definitely recommend, hands down. read more

I've been to countless Cigar Shops, handsdown Cigar Emporium is in a league of its own.

Cigar Emporium is my cigar shop of choice in the area, and I've been to almost all of them. If you're new to the pleasures of smoking a fine cigar or a dedicated smoker, I highly recommend visiting CE and enjoy what a well-stocked store feels and smells like. I'm enjoying a very nice Camacho Ecuador while writing this review. Not only do they have all the top brands but they also carry cigars that I've searched for and haven't found anywhere else. Mike is very knowledgable and can provide really good insight on a particular brand or manufacture. My great-grandfather smoked cigars, my grandfather, and my father. Enjoying a good smoke has been a tradition for the men in my family for a long time. The new location is ideal for parking and CE is the only place I need for variety, quality, and of course, Mike's conversation. read more

Mike is a cool guy. I'm a bit perplexed at what he sold me because it directly conflicts with everything I read online but I will trust Mike for now. Just started pipe smoking and got a nice little starter set with some yummy smelling tobacco. Only time will tell but I like the place so far. The world of tobacco is crazy! read more
